the wol cable↑ is an interconnect cable with standard 3-pin connectors on each end. please follow the procedures listed below to ensure proper installation of the wol cable.

    1. connect either end connector of the wol cable to the nic wol connector. both ends of the wol cable are identical, so either end may be used.

    2. examine the pc motherboard and/or refer to the manual for the motherboard to locate the corresponding wol connector on the motherboard. the actual location is system dependent, but the motherboard may have a label beside the wol connector. after you have located the wol connector on the motherboard, connect the cable.

    3. power-on the pc and press [delete] or [f1] when prompted to enter the pci/isa bios cmos setup. enable the wol function or the power-on function of the pc. the name of this function is system dependent, but may be located in a category heading titled something like power management. refer to your computer's manual for more information regarding the cmos setup utility and bios settings.

    if your system's motherboard wol connector does not fit the wol cable or does not have 3 pins, do not attempt to force a connection or alter the components to fit. doing so could permanently damage your computer.

    the wol cable is an optional component of your dfe-550tx kit. if a cable is not included in your kit, purchase the cable through your local computer retailer.
